There is no curse. Bynum shall walk off the floor with both knees intact.

Should be a fun game to watch if the Lakers can bring the kind of intensity they showed here and there against the Celtics earlier today. I thoroughly enjoyed Bynum's brief "return to beast mode" moments against KG and Perkins. And here's hoping Pau shows everyone that he's "big brother".

We want this game since it is the last game of the road trip, and to keep pace with Cavs, so I see the Lakers and Kobe doing whatever necessary to win this game. Conventional wisdom favors the Griz since they are at home and we are back-to-back on the road, but heart and intensity prevail in this one.....
